Windows Developer Pack 1.0

Introducing the Windows developer packs for Visual Studio 13 and 17. These folders should contain all the libraries needed to compile DICe on windows without having to build any of the dependencies. See http://dicengine.github.io/dice/#BuildingDICe for instructions.

This release does not include the DICe software installers. For those see one of the other releases below. These release files are intended to support building DICe from the command line on Windows.

Version 2.0-beta.15

Display the calibration debugging images while the calibration is in progress.

Enable the user to save the calibration target parameters.

Fixed the image normalization issues for .cine files (horizontal lines)

Version 2.0-beta.14

Updated the calibration tool to enable the user to calibrate from a .cine file

normalize .cine images if they have failed pixels

Version 2.0-beta.13

Major changes to how camera calibration is done, now using the routines developed by Jeff Helm

2D calibrated results are now possible using the new calibration routines

New image registration initializer that is useful for analyses with large rigid body motions of the deforming body (for example rotor blades)

New feature matching initializer that thresholds the images before doing the feature matching

Single precision version available for command line use. Can also be used in the GUI by setting "var execPathOverride = PATH_TO_DICE_FOLDER;" in the .dice.js file. (Global and stereo are currently not supported in the single precision version.)

Version 2.0-beta.12

Further improvements of the feature matching initializer, rather than propagating the current value of the rotation, the rotation value is estimated based on averaging surrounding features

Added a second pass to the feature matching if the first pass fails.

Added a video maker for the tracking algorithm that outputs the deformed ROIs superimposed on the images

The user can also plot the deformed ROIs in the GUI as well

Changed to the clang compiler (LLVM), rather than gcc, for the mac installers. This was to enable more the features in OpenCV.

Version 2.0-beta.11

This release mostly addresses bugs identified in issues (#91, #92, #93):

Fonts and formatting no longer get messed up when working offline
Warn user that live plots are deactivated when working offline (google charts requires online)
Feature matching initializer has been fixed to work better with large rotations
Changes to the CMake configuration to resolve warnings on linux and windows
Fixed the checkerboard pattern calibration routine

Keep the suggestions for improvement coming...or better yet send us a pull request with your updates. Your input is really helpful.

Version 2.0-beta.10

Added support for bitmap images
Removed Boost dependence

Version 2.0-beta.9

Updates to enable global 2D algorithm in GUI. Also fixed the Triangle meshing library so it works on Windows, which was needed to enable the global methods for Windows.

Version 2.0-beta.8

Added a prototype for the tracking routine which enables the user to do rigid body motion tracking as opposed to full-field displacement measurement.

Version 2.0-beta.7

Added a new feature called "live plots" where the user can display a plot of the field values for each step at particular points in the image while the analysis is in-progress. The user can also plot field values over a line in the domain.

Fixes:
Executable no longer crashes on linux (particularly when DICE_DEBUG_MSG is on) when run through the GUI.
MODEL_COORDINATES field is populated for the first step in the analysis
